C, February IS,The interesting spectacle of tho Morgan-Guggonheim syndicate, through itlegal representatives, appearing beforoa congressiounl committee to justify itsoperations in the development of industries in Alaska today packed the roomof tho senate committee on territories.It was denied that tho syndicate hada monopolyon any industrial interest.The proceedings wero unique. Somodays ago Senator Boveridgo receiveda letter from J. P. Mprgan & Co., asking permission to send representativesto answer "Exaggerated reports printed in magazines and newspapers of thwork of a syndicate formed by thatcompany and the Messrs. Guggenheim."Permission was given, and today JohnN. Steel, general counsel for tho syndicate, and Stephen B. Birch, managingdirector, appeared.Birch was put on the stand and hisstory drawn out by Steel. It resulted in testimony that all the moneyspent in tho enormous, development ofAlaskan resources had been furnishedby the syndicate itself; that tho Morgan-Guggenheimsyndicate had not issued to the public a single bond orshare of stocks; that tho syndicate hadnever received anything-from the government in, the way of money, grants ofland ox special rights. 'It was testified further that thesyudicato owned one railroad and" hadno interest in any other in Alaska; thatit owned one copper mino and had nointerest in any other, and that it owneduo coal lands at all. It was said thatthe Cunningham claims hinged uponpatents being issued for the claims, andthat these negotiations had come tonothing. It was shown that tho syndicate was formed, in 1901) by tho purchase of 40 per cent of tho stock of thoNorthwestern Commercial company,which owned the Northwestern Steamship company and Northwestern Fisheries company. The latter 'companypacks 300,000 cases of salmon annually, as compared with tho pack of2,000,000 cases by other interests. Lastvear tho Alaska SteTlmship companywas formed of a reorganization of companies ijj which' tho syndicate boughtlarge interests, anil It n6W Oporfttcscleveu steamers. tA long list of steamship companiesin which the Alaskan syndicate has nointerest, was given iu support of itsclaim that it was not a monopoly.Both Steel and Birch denied that thesyndicate is trying to "Gobble up Alaska." -Interrogated by Senator Bevendgeconcerning tho syndicate's .interest incoal land claims, Birch replied that theMessrs. Guggenheim had agreed to forma $5,000,000 corporation to develop thelands, a one-half interest to be heldby the Guggenhcims and the other halfby Cunningham and his associates. gThe Guggenheims were to pay $2.0,000 fof their half, ho said, and in addition were to loan $100,000, 'if needed.CATTLE DYING ONACCOUNT OF SNOWPUEBLO.
